Sure it may be that way now. But if you go back 20 years to for example video game programming, the hard part was figuring out how to solve the problem, not spend weeks or months t…

This is a rewriting of history that I don't really like. Back before LLMs and before that again, it was very hard to write code. That's why so many people asked questions and figur…

Sure, we can't tell, but that's a really bad argument to make the claim that it _is_ conscious. I just have a really hard time believing that a transformer can be conscious, but ye…

It depends on what you mean by alignment. If you mean the sense it's used now, meaning bias in models, security and safety for users and so on, then that's a way more mundane versi…

You should read the whole thing. At the end he switches the argument on to himself and says that one should always ask questions, put the ego away and try to get better. He already…

Personally I dislike all of these new formats. Shame that most big sites use either avif or webp. When I save these images to disk I always convert to png because storage isn't an …

Depending on how complex the code is, you don't need that big prompt with ChatGPT. I have sped up a project by simply saying "What are all the possible ways I can speed up this cod…

Sorry I know this has been discussed to death sort of, but I feel like it's not always explicitly stated in some discussions and people have different views? Is it really so simple…

Ah yeah jagged intelligence is the perfect phrase for it. I do also get some value from them, both in coding and in images. I find it the least usable for information primarily bec…

I can actually understand this view even if I don't agree with it in the same way. I tried to use ChatGPT to edit and modify real photos I took, and it can do a good job changing t…

To me AI is a really strange technology. When it works it works very well, but at the same time it can't be trusted because of hallucinations. I still get hallucinations just as I …

I also have the same feeling about media since around 2015. The prime example being Alien: Earth, which people will argue has immeasurable depth and nuance while when I watched it …

I think you hit on a key note about learning when they're wrong, and I think that's one of the biggest issues with social media and modern debate - namely that being wrong in publi…

Reading this comment and other similar comments there's definitely a difference between people. Personally I agree and resonate a lot with the blog post, and I've always found desi…

But is the diversity really that staggering? I mean most animals including possibly dinosaurs that have ever existed share a lot of internal organs, in the same place. They have ey…

While that is definitely at play there is a deep rooted instinct in humanity to show status and to have something that is worth a lot. It goes beyond just marketing, which is why i…

You hate on Louis Vuitton but have you ever tried one? Have you looked at all the designs they have? I think LV is better than Hermes bags with that horrendous closure they have on…

This is kind of getting into the weeds a little bit but for me and a lot of others luxury items can be fun to own. You can get an affinity for certain designers style, whether it's…

I think AI is still in the weird twilight zone that it was when it first came out in that it's great sometimes and also terrible. I still get hallucinations when I check a response…
